Please pray for the recently fallen asleep, servant of God, Marius. God forgive him and grant him repose. Memory eternal.

I am speechless. Lord have mercy. We may be far away, but I doubt we are not guilty of this.

WOW! I just received my copies. They are beautifully printed, very high quality, didn't get a chance to go through I was just so excited taht this actually came to be, wanted to shout it out :D

I apologize for piggybacking, but it doesn't seem worth opening a new thread. What is the English version of the salutation after tomorrow? Christ is ascended? Christ ascended? Something else? As for the question at hand, I don't think the choice of synonym can constitute heterodoxy either. I...

I believe this. I do not know the English wording used so forgive mistranslations. But a central "arc" of the Liturgy is the "remembrance / commemoration" which is an unequivocal reference to the thief. This really starts before the Liturgy, during the Holy Proskomedia as the particles are...

Christ is risen from the dead! Memory eternal!

Wow, YouTube algorithm, yes that algorithm, suggested this: Christ Is Risen But We All Chant It Together - YouTube

Does anyone else have the idea of "if you sleep in between, it's okay?" It is prevalent in the Romanian community.

Truly He is risen! Alithos anesti! Adevărat a-înviat!

Do adults get a special little baptismal cross like babies? Genuinely curious. My wife didn't get one, but it was a bit chaotic at the time. (And adult baptisms are extremely rare in our church)

Glory to God! Christ is risen! No greater intercessor for someone suffering a (I assume) chronic illness anyway. Am I confused? If not, I am talking about St. Paisios the Athonite, if you are speaking of a different St. Paisios, forgive me. But St. Paisios the Athonite taught me how to look at...

I might be speaking out of turn because my experience is in a more traditional setting, if so forgive and ignore. USA parishes migh thave new traditions First off, traditionally, these practical matters are to be handled by the godparents. Did you talk to them about it? They ought to then check...

Glory to God. It is a great joy for me to see this. It is very rare in my immediate circle and it is the most beautiful thing. I am not sure who said this first, but I just happened to hear it today from Archimandrite Ephraim of Vatopedi: on this topic, talk more to God about your wife than to...

I've never really heard that said... Hey, there are psaltic groups that give CONCERTS and sell records and stuff... and they are ordained and have blessing of heirarchy to do so. The Patriarchal Cathedral puts out videos and recordinds of chanting. Many holy monasteries put out records. Every...

There's nothing wrong with looking up a word. You already mentioned the problem: it is a tool that can lead / enable a way of "studying" the Scripture that is outside the Orthodox mindset. But like any tool it is neither good nor bad in itself, just the way you use it can be.

Forgive my bitterness. It hides great respect for you, Orthodox outside "Orthodoxia".

It's the other way around for me. When I first became a Westerner, I was put off by the vacuous marketing campaigns that are Easter, Christmas and Valentine's Day. Then, going back to my native lands to visit, I realized these same ones are becoming the dominant cultural aspect of "holy days"...

I think I get it, but it's harder to explain. In Romanian, for instance, it is immediately glaring that one is not Orthodox based on the words, phraseology and even cadence when they speak of a holy matter. But it would be hard to explain how that is to someone who doesn't speak Romanian. So, I...

Thank you, thank you, thank you for saying this. Should be repeated more often.

I'm with @Till Schilling on this one. In my work I've seen too many aftermaths of this type of situation. Be cautious. If the facts are as stated by you, here, then statistically you are in grave danger. Just... please, please try to have a plan, a contact, something.
